Ingredients
- 6 cups seedless watermelon, cut into 1-inch cubes
- 1 English cucumber, diced
- ½ cup crumbled feta cheese
- ¼ cup thinly sliced red onion
- ¼ cup chopped fresh mint
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh or dried basil
- ¼ cup toasted pistachios or sliced almonds (optional, for crunch)
Honey Lime Dressing
- 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
- ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
1. Prepare the Produce
Cube the watermelon, dice the cucumber, thinly slice the red onion, and chop the fresh herbs.
2. Make the Dressing
In a small bowl, whisk together the lime juice, honey, olive oil, salt, and pepper until smooth.
3. Build the Salad
In a large serving bowl, gently combine the watermelon, cucumber, red onion, mint, and basil.
4. Dress the Salad
Pour the dressing over the salad and toss gently so the watermelon stays intact.
5. Add the Finishing Touches
Sprinkle the feta cheese and toasted pistachios over the top just before serving.
6. Chill and Serve
Serve immediately or refrigerate for 15 minutes to let the flavors meld. Stir gently before serving if any juices collect at the bottom of the bowl.
